Tapisseries / Mapping is the culmination of a research project on a selection of materials and the metamorphosis an image undergoes when it is transposed from one medium to another.  

 

At first, a simple material is chosen — a piece of fabric. Soaked in ink and placed onto a surface, the fabric leaves its trace and a print emerges. This fabricprint is then transformed into a photogram and the photogram is digitized. Printed at a large scale, the simple piece of fabric transforms into a grand tapestry. 

 

This process simulates the act of looking through a microscope — the eye is drawn into the weave of the magnified fabric so as to discover its structure, its framework. This project is a study of contexture, through which the composition of the fabric is mapped. Tapisseries / Mapping reveals the extraordinary in the ordinary, the macrocosm in the microcosm, by exploring the boundary between the infinitely great and the infinitely small.
